    Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing polishing articles used in polishing processes are provided. In one implementation, a method of forming a polishing pad is provided. The method comprises depositing an uncured first layer of a pad forming photopolymer on a substrate. The method further comprises positioning a first optical mask over the first layer of the uncured pad forming photopolymer. The first optical mask includes a patterned sheet of material having at least one aperture. The method further comprises exposing the uncured first layer of the pad forming photopolymer to electromagnetic radiation to selectively polymerize exposed portions of the uncured first layer of the pad forming photopolymer to form pad-supporting structures within the first layer of pad forming photopolymer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to advanced polishing pads with tunable chemical, material and structural properties, and new methods of manufacturing the same. According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, it has been discovered that a polishing pad with improved properties may be produced by an additive manufacturing process, such as a three-dimensional (3D) printing process. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus may provide an advanced polishing pad that has discrete features and geometries, formed from at least two different materials that include functional polymers, functional oligomers, reactive diluents, addition polymer precursor compounds, catalysts, and curing agents. For example, the advanced polishing pad may be formed from a plurality of polymeric layers, by the automated sequential deposition of at least one polymer precursor composition followed by at least one curing step, wherein each layer may represent at least one polymer composition, and/or regions of different compositions. Embodiments of the disclosure further provide a polishing pad with polymeric layers that may be interpenetrating polymer networks.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein generally relate to polishing pads and methods of forming polishing pads. A polishing pad includes a plurality of polishing elements. Each polishing element comprises an individual surface that forms a portion of a polishing surface of the polishing pad and one or more sidewalls extending downwardly from the individual surface to define a plurality of channels disposed between the polishing elements. Each of the polishing elements has a plurality of pore-features formed therein. Each of the polishing elements is formed of a pre- polymer composition and a sacrificial material composition. In some cases, a sample of the cured pre-polymer composition has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about 80 °C or greater. A storage modulus (E') of the cured pre-polymer composition at a temperature of 80 °C (E'80) can be about 200 MPa or greater.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein generally relate to polishing pads and methods of forming polishing pads. A method of forming a polishing pad includes (a) dispensing droplets of a pre-polymer composition and droplets of a sacrificial material composition onto a surface of a previously formed print layer according to a predetermined droplet dispense pattern. The method includes (b) at least partially curing the dispensed droplets of the pre-polymer composition to form a print layer. The method includes (c) sequentially repeating (a) and (b) to form a polishing layer having a plurality of pore- features formed therein. The pre-polymer composition includes a multifunctional acrylate component. A curing rate of the dispensed droplets of the pre-polymer composition including the multifunctional acrylate component when exposed to a first dose of electromagnetic radiation is greater than a curing rate of the pre-polymer composition without the multifunctional acrylate component when exposed to the same first dose of electromagnetic radiation.
